Monroe Duo

Monroe Duo’s Polly and Ian are incredibly accomplished musicians in their own right, but when their talent and experience is brought together, the resulting performance is unrivalled.

Intimate gatherings bring out the best in this duo. The delicate tone of Polly’s voice combines perfectly with Ian’s guitar playing and their musical knowledge ensures they perform the perfect songs for each moment of the event.

The duo can provide the perfect backdrop of beautiful acoustic music for acoustic wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, and corporate events. They also provide just the right atmosphere and vibe for public events in contemporary bars, restaurants and arts venues.

Polly studied vocals at Leicester College and has performed with a huge range of live acts. She has worked with dance producers from Moda Black and Spearhead, and a recent collaboration on an album track with producer Seven saw it reach number one in the Juno Dubstep charts.

Guitarist Ian has been working as a professional session musician for 15 years. His notable collaborations include working on the albums of Simon Webbe (formerly of Blue), Errol Brown, David Benoit, Down To The Bone and Roger Sanchez. He has performed live with American jazz musicians Reuben Wilson and Eddie Henderson.

Monroe’s client list includes Leicester City Football Club, Accomplished Events, Meantime Communications and CS Ellis. They have also performed in the Banqueting Hall in Whitehall and currently have a monthly residency at the Sanderson Hotel in Fitzrovia, London.

The duo can also be expanded into a 4 piece by adding bass and percussion if a more uptempo feel or dancing is required. They can also ramp this up to a full electric set up to get everyone up. Visit the Monroe Band page for more info.

It was a pleasure to work with you and both the client and Neil and I were really impressed with your professionalism and talent. The guests had a wonderful, relaxed evening which is exactly what we had hoped to create and your performance was perfectly suited to this. We will certainly keep hold of your contact details and look for opportunities to work with you again in the future.

Great singer with a great band. We are still getting many complimentary comments about them, the day after the event. Polly worked the crowd well and got us all dancing, a difficult feat at a corporate function on a Wednesday night!
